2 Arizona Cardinals starting O-linemen at OTAs after missing practice last week
2 Arizona Cardinals starting O-linemen at OTAs after missing practice last week Tackle Jonah Williams and center Hjalte Frohldt, absent from Wednesday's practice last week, were on the field on Tuesday at OTAs The Arizona Cardinals began their second and final week of OTAs on Tuesday. It is, of course, important to note that this is also the last week of voluntary work. Last week, two starting offensive linemen were not at Wednesday's only open practice to reporters — center Hjalte Froholdt and tackle Jonah Williams. It was the first day of OTAs. Both were seen at Tuesday's practice, which was the only day reporters would see who was on the field and not. Williams being on the field is a positive thing, as he is coming off a knee injury that sidelined him twice last season, limiting him to only six games. Froholdt's absence must have been personal for whatever reason, which is completely fine because it is the voluntary part of the offseason still. Froholdt, based on photos the team has released on social media, has been present for other phases of the offseason. So it would appear that his health is not a concern. Veteran tackle Kelvin Beachum, who was also not seen at the first practice of OTAs last week, was seen on Tuesday this week.

4 bounce-back candidates on offense for Arizona Cardinals in 2025
4 bounce-back candidates on offense for Arizona Cardinals in 2025 We looked at some defensive players for the Cardinals to bounce back in 2025. Here are some offensive players who could as well. The Arizona Cardinals are in the final phase of their offseason program with two weeks remaining, one of OTAs and one of minicamp. They are hoping to bounce back from their 8-9 2024 when they lost five of their final seven games. To do so, they will need some individual players to bounce back from 2024. PFF named linebacker Baron Browning as the Cardinals' top bounce-back candidate for 2025. But there are a number of players who could use a bounce-back season, whether coming back from an injury, low production or simply not meeting expectations. We went over some bounce-back players for the defense. Here are some offensive players to watch for improvement in 2025. Cardinals bounce-back offensive candidate 1: OT Jonah Williams Williams played well when he played. The problem was that he only played in six games because he injured his knee twice. He still is their best option at right tackle and staying healthy all season would be huge. Cardinals bounce-back offensive candidate 2: QB Kyler Murray This is more about how things went down the stretch. His season stats were fine, but of his 11 interceptions, eight came in the final seven games when the Cardinals lost five of their final seven, going from 6-4 and in first place in the division to third place and 8-9. Cardinals bounce-back offensive candidate 3: WR Zay Jones Jones was re-signed to a one-year deal after he only had eight catches in 2024. His suspension to start the season really set him back, but by the end of the season, he was getting the third-most offensive snaps among the receivers. Expect him to have a much better year than eight receptions. Cardinals bounce-back offensive candidate 4: WR Marvin Harrison Jr. This might seem disingenuous because his rookie season was far from bad. It was one of the best the Cardinals have ever had from a rookie receiver. But people expected more, and it was disappointing because there were other rookie receivers clearing 1,100 and 1,200 yards. Bouncing back would mean becoming the true WR1 threat and being a guy defenses have to worry about.

Texas' 5-run fifth inning propels Longhorns to 7-1 victory over Houston Christian in Austin Regional
Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas turned six hits and an error into a five-run fifth inning to break open the game, and the No. 2 national seed Longhorns defeated Houston Christian 7-1 in the Austin Regional on Friday. The Longhorns (43-12) play the winner of a game between UTSA and Kansas on Saturday. The Huskies (32-24) meet the loser in an elimination game. Texas, making its NCAA-record 64th tournament appearance, capitalized on three Houston Christian errors and scored six unearned runs. All five of the Longhorns' fifth-inning runs came with two outs. Jonah Williams reached on an error and Ethan Mendoza singled to start the inning, and then four two-out singles and Will Gasparino's double put the Longhorns up 7-1. Texas coach Jim Schlossnagle gave left-hander Ethan Walker his second start of the season against the No. 4 regional seed Huskies. That allowed Texas to hold back established weekend starters Ruger Riojas and Luke Harrison. Walker, who held Tennessee to one run in 4 1/3 innings of relief in the Southeastern Conference Tournament on May 22, gave up two hits and no runs in 1 2/3 innings. Schlossnagle then went to Grayson Saunier and Hudson Hamilton. Each worked 3 2/3 innings, and they combined to hold the Huskies to a run on six hits and a walk. Houston Christian starter Parker Edwards went 4 1/3 innings and allowed seven hits and two walks. The Longhorns beat Houston Christian for the second time this season. They won 12-2 on April 8 in a game shortened to seven innings by the run rule. ___ AP college sports: recommended
